One such incident, which Macci said he wished was included in the movie, involved Richard Williams prank-calling him in the middle of the night.
The Williams family had just moved from their modest home in Compton to a luxurious mansion in Florida, which was a big change for the family. Around two weeks into their stay, Macci received a call from a panicked Richard Williams, who said someone was trying to kill him.
Macci assured Williams that it was probably just security driving around, but he was still very afraid and kept pleading with the coach to come over.
Ultimately, Macci relented and agreed to go over, after which Williams ended the charade. He just wanted to see how much the new coach cared about his family.
Richard Williams and Rick Macci remain close friends even today
Rick Macci revealed that Richard Williams was his “best friend” and that they bonded from the moment they met. The infamous phone call was just a way to “jerk his chain a little bit.”
The duo have remained close over the years and even hung out together in December last year.
